[nysbirds-l] Yellow-breasted chat, philly vireo etc Central Park North End

2019-09-13 Thread AA Fawkes
Still out birding, but thought I should report that Alex Hale and I just had a (very skulky) yellow-breasted chat at the southwest corner of wildflower meadow in Central Park, as well as Philadelphia and white-eyed vireos on the great hill. Loads of birds around after the north winds last night,

[nysbirds-l] Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Mecox Inlet

In addition to the continuing avocet I just saw a buff-breasted sandpiper in the shrubby area at the western end of the inlet. It was spooked after a few minutes by 2 young peregrines and flew east down the beach and out of sight but has returned so it may stick around. Ebird checklist will

Jacob Drucker texted about half an hour ago that he, Nadir Souirgi, and James Knox have refound the Henslows, in the same area that it was seen yesterday at the south west corner of the golf course at Jacob Riis park. It flushed out of the center of the field and then flew towards the fence by the

[nysbirds-l] Inwood Park- another Manhattan collared-dove

2014-09-03 Thread AA Fawkes
Today I spotted a Eurasian Collared-dove at Dyckman Fields, next to Inwood park at the northern end of Manhattan. The bird was in heavy tail molt, but its large size, unspotted wings, and distinctively patterned tail were clearly visible. Perhaps not very worth chasing following the long-staying
